The holidays are a great time to think about everything we've done in the year. In between Christmas celebrations, excessive lunches, hefty dinners and never ending shopping trips, we have to face our inner demons. I've been doing that for the past few days and it's kind of liberating, you know? I started thinking about the things I did, the people I met and the areas I need to work on.

Religiously, I send messages to my friends during Christmas Eve, saying a few kind words about how I feel about our relationship through this year or maybe just some nice things about them, something to make them smile. I like to do that, I think it's special and, in a way, strengthens the bonds between us. But, also, during those moments I often think about the people that no longer receive messages from me, the people that I'm losing interest in more and more every day.

This holiday season has been good for me, has helped me understand more about people and relationships. I'm looking back on events from this year and realise that not everyone made the cut, haha. Some people need to be left behind in order for me to move forward. It's about being honest with yourself, finding closure and learning how to control your emotions. You need to become the ruler of your life, you need to become the king.
